MY CONVICTS!

Another day in paradise for you folks right? I’m just psyched because ITS RING TIMEEE. We’re having a heat wave up north and its a whopping 38 DEGREES out right now. I’m absolutely working out in shorts and a tank top because I will get too hot and you dont want to be overheating while working out right?

Awesome workout though. My biceps and back are on fire! Guess that makes sense though because those are the muscles that are supposed to be getting the most workout right? 🙂

Going to be a Kick A workout today Convicts. You ready to cause some chaos and crank out some upper body calisthenics?!

Today’s workout is in the style of Interval Sets. Check the Routines page for information on how that goes.

Hows your progress coming so far in the new year?! Drop me a line with some stats and what you’re hoping to accomplish this year!

Pullups:

Another exciting day for some Pullups. I really think the once a week thing is killing my progress with these. Thankfully only one more week of the Interval Sets – although I havent checked on whats for the next couple weeks still. Hopefully I’m going to be doing more of these! I feel as though I need to do them every third day to keep the progress going. At a minimum two times a week.

Either way, I’m glad to be able to crank out 12 reps for the first two sets. Going to be rough to keep these numbers up for the entire workout. If I can beat numbers from last week I’ll be happy though 🙂

Unfortunately I was only able to tie my numbers from last week, lets hope that the ol’ Biceps can hold up and get the same, if not better, results from last week.

Set 1: Super Wide Grip

12 Super Wide Grip Pullups

Set 2: Wide Grip

Let Me Up’s: ( A.k.a. Horizontal Pull )

Well, I was able to beat last weeks first set by one rep! Woo HOO – haha. I’m definitely never going to eat roasted garlic hummus anytime again before I workout. Or at least within an hour or two if I do. It’s so nasty constantly burping up garlic …

C’mon body, lets crank out ten reps for this last set! — Fk’n RIGHT! Man that was rough. My palms were so sweaty towards the last two reps, I thought my hands were going to slip off and I was going to bash my head. Thankfully things worked out, and I got two more reps than last week!

Set 1:

10 Let Me Up’s

Let Me In’s:

I’m going to be doing these guys slowly so I can feel the burn better.

Let me tell you what, those lil buggers are much harder if you slow down and really focus on hitting the appropriate muscles.I could feel it in my Lats, my Biceps, and my Delts.

Curls: ( With resistance band )

Hot damn, todays workout is wrecking my Biceps! I can barely type because my arms are so shot, I’ve to type super slow.

Can’t progress without putting in some work though right? We like the burn anyway – Say it with me!

For the last set, I put my hands so my palms were facing down this time instead of a normal curl where the palms are facing you – just because.

Man it does feel good to see some progress – albeit small, it’s still there! I’m very happy I am logging / tracking everything so I can actually ‘see’ the progress. Helps keep me motivated.

After I finished my workout tonight and showered ( gave me some time for the blood to dissipate from the muscles ) I did some measurements on my legs, arms and chest. Last time I did it was a few months ago, so here’s what we’ve tonight:
